His Rui

Chapter 562 Zhao Zhang Wei Begs Li Rui

Li Rui came out of her trance when she heard a 'thump' sound.

With surprise-filled eyes, she stepped backward.

It was Zhao Zhang Wei who had fallen to the ground with both of his knees on it. Yi Huiqing was still in his arms.

"Save her."

Li Rui's mouth parted slightly when she sensed the trembling in the prince's voice.

Was he crying?

She didn't know because his head was lowered but she soon got her answer when Zhao Zhang Wei raised his head.

Her eyes flickered with surprise when she saw his phoenix red eyes filled with tears. Those tears must be there for a long time…at least enough to slide down as he spoke

"Please save her."

Even his lips were quivering as he spoke

"Her body is going cold."

Zhao Zhang Wei could feel it. He could feel the coldness of Yi Huiqing's body through her clothes and it scared him.

Having the body of the woman in his arms, he couldn't live without it as she was slowly losing her life…it was pure torture.

With trembling hands, he held Yi Huiqing carefully with one hand and then put his fingers on her wrist.

Even her pulse was very weak now.

More tears slid down Zhao Zhang Wei's eyes as he traced Yi Huiqing's bloodless lips with his fingers.

"Qingqing, I can't …live without her."

He hugged Yi Huiqing's body to his chest as he cried like a child while burying his face in her neck.

And at that moment, Li Rui saw a different prince.

Very different from what she had thought about him.

Everything that she was going to say suddenly stuck in her throat. She had wanted to ask Zhao Zhang Wei to promise her that he would separate from Yi Huiqing willingly after she would recover.

However, now Li Rui didn't really know if she should say that now or not.

Yi Huiqing save Zhao Zhang Wei so it only meant that she still loved him. And from what it looked like, Zhao Zhang Wei's heart was also not empty from feelings for her.

Then what was wrong with both of them?

"Bring her back inside the chambers. Cold weather is not good for her."

Li Rui said calmly and Zhao Zhang Wei immediately started to get up from the cold floor.

His face was stained with tears and Xi Ying for a moment couldn't believe whether he was really seeing always proud Zhao Zhang Wei.

Immediately, Zhao Zhang Wei walked back to the chambers.

After he had laid down Yi Huiqing on the bed, Li Rui asked him to leave the chambers. This time, Zhao Zhang Wei never argued with Li Rui.

He obediently left the room with Xi Ying.

Lin Daiyu stayed inside the room to help Li Rui.

Li Rui did the same thing this time. She performed the acupuncture once again but this time it took her a very less time and hence she came out soon.

"Is it done?"

Zhao Zhang Wei asked anxiously as soon as he saw her stepping out of the room.

"Yes"

Li Rui said calmly. She asked Lin Daiyu to change Yi Huiqing's clothes and then warm the room. After that, she looked back at Zhao Zhang Wei and said

"Jiejie will wake up in half a shichen."

Zhao Zhang Wei looked silently at Li Rui for a few moments. It was not that he didn't believe Li Rui. It was just that he could slowly understand what had happened just now.

Li Rui knew that she could save Yi Huiqing or perhaps she had already treated Yi Huiqing before but she intentionally said to him that Yi Huiqing was in danger.

Though Zhao Zhang Wei felt a little angry at this, he never said anything to Li Rui.

Perhaps he deserved this.

He thought inside his heart bitterly. After all, he didn't cherish Qingqing when she used to cherish him.

Lantai Courtyard didn't have any other servant except for Lin Daiyu right now.

When Xi Ying had told Zhao Zhang Wei that Li Rui could treat Yi Huiqing but he didn't want anyone to see Li Rui, he had immediately ordered everyone to the vacant Lantai Courtyard.

Even Yi Family was not allowed to step inside and see Yi Huiqing. Grandfather Yi, Father Yi, and other family members had protested but Zhao Zhang Wei didn't listen to anyone.

So right now, there was no one in the Lantai courtyard except for these few people.

Zhao Zhang Wei patiently waited for Lin Dauyu to change Yi Huiqing'c clothes. After Lin Daiyu came back, he went inside the chambers and came out soon.

Yi Huiqing was really alright now. Relief could be seen on Zhao Zhang Wei's face. He had seen just now how bloodless lips and face were returning to life again. Though he still felt a little restless on seeing her unconscious face, he knew that he could do nothing but wait.

"Go and bring something healthy and delicious to eat for Prime Minister Xi and Lady Li."

He said to Lin Daiyu when he came out.

Lin Daiyu immediately ran out of the courtyard to the Imperial kitchen to do the said work. Xi Ying nodded his head politely at Zhao Zhang Wei.

He had actually thought of going back to Xi Manor right now so that Li Rui would first have something and then come back to check Yi Huiqing once if it was needed.

However, it would take time and he didn't know if it would be good for LiRui to stay hungry for so long.

Zhao Zhang Wei did the same and then went back inside the chambers. Every moment without seeing Yi Huiqing seemed to make him feel as if he should stop breathing because it suffocated him.

He wished to spend each and every moment in her company now. Where he would be able to feel her, touch her.

He wished to be the first person she would see as soon as she would wake up.

After this, from today itself, Zhao Zhang Wie decided that he would change everything. No matter how much Yi Huiqing will push him away, he will stand there.

He won't mind her rudeness, her cold words. He would win her heart again and make her love him again.

Zhao Zhang Wei smiled at his thoughts.

However, when he went back, the smile on his lips vanished on seeing an additional person inside the room.
